Life of the Party

The summer double issue (July 11-18) was terrific. Catching up with the stars of the past brought back wonderful memories of 1980. Oh, yeah, and the Jennie Finch cover didn't hurt either.

The SI summer party was a cute idea, but really: Perhaps the best male player ever ( Roger Federer) wins Wimbledon for the third straight time and Venus Williams makes a surprising comeback to win the biggest of the Slams, and neither is the main cover picture?

Who was checking ID's at the door of your party and turned away Michelle Wie?

You've finally taken the SI cover jinx to the next level. Jennie Finch is on the cover, and days later the IOC votes to cut softball from the Olympics after 2008. The jinx is now an international phenomenon.
